The fire was reported in the living room, said York Area United Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief John Woods.

Strinestown fire company arrived with two units and were able to get the bulk of the fire out quickly, he said. It is an older home, and with its type of construction, fire gets in the wall and goes all over.

The home, which was recently converted from a duplex to a single family home, had about 50 percent of extensive damage, Woods said.

The cause of the fire has not been determined, he said. The state police fire marshal is being called in.

The fire went to two alarms because of the heat, Woods said.
